Search for relativistic magnetic monopoles with eight years of IceCube data
We present an all-sky 90% confidence level upper limit on the cosmic flux of relativistic magnetic monopoles using 2886 days of IceCube data. The analysis was optimized for monopole speeds between 0.750 c and 0.995 c , without any explicit restriction on the monopole mass. We constrain the flux o...

| description | We present an all-sky 90% confidence level upper limit on the cosmic flux of relativistic magnetic monopoles using 2886 days of IceCube data. The analysis was optimized for monopole speeds between
0.750
c
and
0.995
c
, without any explicit restriction on the monopole mass. We constrain the flux of relativistic cosmic magnetic monopoles to a level below

over the majority of the targeted speed range. This result constitutes the most strict upper limit to date for magnetic monopoles with
β
≳
0.8
and up to
β
∼
0.995
and fills the gap between existing limits on the cosmic flux of nonrelativistic and ultrarelativistic magnetic monopoles. |
